Ok that's fantastic too! So the 60 to 90 is really just 0 to 30 and then multiply the whole sum by 20/3 and plop on the 205 since that is where the scale starts. Fascinating! Can you tell I am excited?!!!

­Unfortunately that is too dependent on the level of difficulty of the questions one sees.  One thing is for sure, though.  The penalty for leaving questions unanswered is severe, so don't do that!

I have a question for you! bb

I just took the real test and got 30 points less than I should have, when compared to this tool.
Do you have any idea about the possible reason? This calculator has always been incredibly precise for any kind of mocks so I was wondering what happened.

Thanks!­


Hm… very very surprising.
I have never seen this calculator miss a beat…

Not because this is some kind of ingenious calculator or work of art but it’s simply math since the scores tend to be linear. It’s a math formula…

This is quite surprising. I don’t know if you’re comfortable sharing your score but that would be helpful to have as we poke around.

Honestly, I don’t have any explanation why it would not match. I can come up with series but none of them will be explaining it especially with such a big difference….

The best option would be to Google and search through the forums to see if you can find someone else with the similar split to get an understanding if the problem is with the calculator. Not impossible or if there is a problem with the GMAC’s calculation.

bb Sounds like a lot of work ­ahahah

I'll just wait for the official score and update you in private (if you agree).
It is possible that I made a mistake in remembering the section scores, but I triple-checked and I'm quite sure about them.

Thanks!

And actually one more calculator update - now it is able to calculate the total GMAT score based on sectional scores and also output sectional and overall percentiles at the same time. Thank you to the https://interactivecalculator.com folks for their help!

This should hopefully the one-stop-solution for all GMAT Focus questions. The calculator also supports the Classic Score Equivalent!­

P.S. Welcome feedback and criticism and any inaccuracy you may spot! Converting Focus to Classic is tricky business with GMAC's very confusing tables. ­  :-o

Hey, can you link this with the percentile and thus the corresponding score of the regular GMAT?

Nice idea but I think too complex for the simple calculator…. This requires creating a lookup table and some excel functions…. I’ll check with the Calculator but I think it only supports basic operations without lookups.

PS. I will try to post a different calculator or a table for converting percentiles.

Do we have any similar calculator that can help us calculate the approx sectional scores from the number of correct/incorrect/unattempted counts in each of the three sections?

­Thank for the reply! bb

I got a the worst score I have ever got... Q82, V85, DI81 - Total: 625
All the percentiles were perfectly aligned with the individual and the total score. Honestly the total score looks very harsh considering the section scores. Not great, I could have done better. But it honestly looks a little bit off when compared to all the mocks I took.­­

So, I found this guy: who got 665 Q84 V82 DI83­. (the calculator calculated correctly a 665)

I really don't see how you could get a 625 with Q82, V85, DI81 since all of the sections are contributing equally. So I feel the calculator is correct and hopefully your score will bumped up. If not, it will be a big shocker to me. Definitely want to stay in the loop and updated on this!

Amazing calculator.

I have checked with about 10 scores from actual scores of GMAT takers, GMAT Prep (Focus), Pack-1 & 2 (Focus edition). Not a single discrepancy.

Kudos to you!

I have developed a calculator that helps get your final score based on the sectional scores (Quant, Verbal, and DI)

Set your scores and it should match your result exactly (there is some fancy math going on behind the scenes to make sure that the results are always multiples of 5 and not any other number)
You can use this calculator to get a sense of how much you can bump up your score with changes in the section. Something that's interesting to note about the GMAT Focus is that all 3 sections contribute to the score equally, so if you can max one out easier than others, go for it

I do now, and hope to be able to build a quick calculator :cool:

Quick update that we have added a percentile reading to the score as well, so now you can get the overall score and percentile at the same time

👍 thank you. Felt pretty good to be able to do it with the right tools.

If you have other needs or ideas, please let me know. I’m thinking of switching attention to the GRE scores and see if there’s anything I can do there.
